Those were the words that were hand-painted on the sign
nailed to a tree on the side of 285. Two
simple words. Two words that brought
hope and clarity and comfort into my situation.
Those two words can bring hope and clarity and comfort into
your situation… whatever it is right now, today.
As I write this, the whole world is on a Divine Shutdown due
to the novel coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak.
It’s March 31, 2020. Hundreds of
thousands of people have had the virus.
Tens of thousands have died from it.
Thousands of people are out of work, wondering how they are going to
feed their families. The stock market
has been on an epic rollercoaster ride, based on fear and panic. At the beginning of this crisis, throngs of
people flooded stores and bought up all the toilet paper. Weird, right?
The coronavirus affects the lungs, people. Not your intestinal tract.
But in the midst of it all, Jesus is calling to us. Just like the sign said. TRUST JESUS.
You can trust Him, you know. He
is not surprised by this situation. He’s
not out of solutions for it. Perhaps He
has allowed it so that we will TRUST JESUS.
Perhaps He’s allowing it because we have put our trust in so many other
things that do fail, that do not satisfy.
What follows for however long the Lord wants to continue it
are stories of people who have chosen to TRUST JESUS. Their own true stories of how the Lord has
come through for them. How He has been
faithful. How He has healed them. How He has provided for them. How He has protected them. The point of this project is to give God the
glory for all He has done and encourage you to TRUST JESUS too.
For an on-time word of encouragement, check out this sermon
by my Pastor, Jentezen Franklin, from Free Chapel Gainesville. It’s called That Time, This Time and Every
Time!
